It was a night of firsts, and also of the best. At the heart of the dinner event was the Southeast Asian launch of Samsung’s 114in Micro-LED screen. It improves on its predecessor, the 110in Micro-LED, by leaps and bounds in terms of its innovative diode technology, with individual control of pixels to generate a stunning depth and detail that takes one’s breath away.

Beyond the debut of this Micro-LED screen in the region, the dinner also represented the first Volcan de mi Tierra dinner event outside of the brand’s own activations. This exclusive pairing, with the ingenious culinary team from Unusual Marketplace, showcased the brilliance of this additive-free tequila, one that retains the purity of the agave and elevated with luxury spirit-making techniques from its joint-venture partner Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy.
On the menu, some of the world’s best ingredients added excitement to proceedings. Among them, giant carabineros specially flown in for this event; percebes—otherwise known as gooseneck barnacles—from Galicia, which are insanely difficult to harvest and only able to be done by hand; autumn truffles; and premium Hanwoo beef from South Korea.

Then came the grand reveal, with a set-up and introduction from Calvert Yap, Samsung Malaysia’s head of audio visual and TV division, on the phenomenal power of Micro-LED, which brings colour, details and images to life like never before.

In attendance was Volcan tequila’s ambassador Sherrie Yap, who showcased the exquisite tastes of these crafted tequila—from the latest Blanco Tahona, with its hints of dulce de leche and almond, to the flagship X.A, mellowed by three layers of ageing for a smooth and elegant touch of vanilla, caramel and dried fruits.
To polish it off, venue partner Sincere Haute Horlogerie set the scene within its spectacular boutique, with mechanical wizardry from its many independent watchmaking maisons proffering a juxtaposition to the futuristic Micro-LED technology on display.
